Blinky's depiction in "Space Pilot 3000" is slightly different from his Simpsons appearance. On The Simpsons, Blinky is all-orange, but, on Futurama, his fins and tail are cyan and his body is a shade of green that closely resembles radioactive nuclear waste, thus indicating radioactivity or toxicity in the waters of New New York.

On The Simpsons, Blinky resides in the waters of Springfield and is implied to have been created as a result of toxic waste from Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Blinky and members of his orange fish species are usually seen in cameos depicting the result of some ecological or environmental catastrophe, usually at the hands of Mr. Burns.
